Creating Drama with Nik Filters in Photoshop

I photographed a rose at midday in Central Park (see original photo below) but wanted to give it more drama than was possible with the available light. To get the photo shown above, I first applied the Low Key filter from Nik Color Efex Pro 4. I then went to Apply Image in Photoshop and, using the same photo as both source and target, chose the blend mode Multiply at 100%. I thought the result was aesthetically more pleasing than the original photo.
